Perks of office liz rain5/29/2023 "Right now, we have record numbers of people in GP training. Pressed again, he said: "What we are going to be doing is bringing forward shortly a plan, the long-term plan for the NHS workforce. There are actually 25,000 more staff working in primary care more generally." So, the other thing that we're doing is investing in lots of other roles. "My dad was a GP, my mum was a pharmacist. "But also - and I can speak with some knowledge of this - it is the case that not everyone needs to see a GP. So, right now there are almost 2,000 more doctors working in general practice than there were in 2019. He said: "What we are doing on GP numbers is straightforward. The prime minister, when pressed about the Conservative manifesto target of 6,000 more GPs by 2024, has declined to repeat that pledge. Gothic! by Deborah Noyes5/29/2023 I definitely recommend it to all those interested in ghost tales, especially historical ones.”- Star Shadow Blog “Captivity represents all that is good in literary fiction…It is original, creative and beautifully written…deeply insightful.”- The Lit Witch Noyes’ writing captures the era, the sites, sounds, and beliefs of a time long past. I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation from the very start. It’s one of those books that you will find something new every time you read it.

Deborah Noyes has the ability to make all of this very real with a delicate, ethereal beauty. In this case, did the Fox sisters have a gift, or was it a hoax?. A haunting story, exquisite writing, compelling characters, and a really interesting plot question. “One of those books that you find maybe once, or if you are lucky, twice a year. “A novel of beguiling characters that probes both belief and the veracity of emotion, this endlessly fascinating work should be considered by all fiction readers.”- Library Journal 1984 by george orwell5/29/2023 The protagonist, Winston Smith, is a diligent mid-level worker at the Ministry of Truth who secretly hates the Party and dreams of rebellion. Through the Ministry of Truth, the Party engages in omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and constant propaganda to persecute individuality and independent thinking. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, has become a province of the totalitarian superstate Oceania, which is led by Big Brother, a dictatorial leader supported by an intense cult of personality manufactured by the Party's Thought Police. The story takes place in an imagined future in the year 1984, when much of the world is in perpetual war. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within societies and the ways in which they can be manipulated. Orwell, a democratic socialist, modelled the authoritarian state in the novel on Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany. Thematically, it centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime.

Some authors have seen redeeming value in the work.Freud, who had a longstanding interest in social anthropology and was devoted to the study of archaeology and prehistory, wrote that the work of Wilhelm Wundt and Carl Jung provided him with his "first stimulus" to write the essays included in Totem and Taboo. Kroeber was an early critic of Totem and Taboo, publishing a critique of the work in 1920. Though Totem and Taboo has been seen as one of the classics of anthropology, comparable to Edward Burnett Tylor's Primitive Culture (1871) and Sir James George Frazer's The Golden Bough (1890), the work is now considered discredited by anthropologists.It is a collection of four essays inspired by the work of Wilhelm Wundt and Carl Jung and first published in the journal Imago (1912-13): "The Horror of Incest", "Taboo and Emotional Ambivalence", "Animism, Magic and the Omnipotence of Thoughts", and "The Return of Totemism in Childhood".

How to Take Over the World by Ryan North5/28/2023 Attempts to dig deeper were made for years, but no hole ever made it farther than 12,262m, and the scientists were forced to conclude that there was simply no technology available at the time that could push any deeper. Whenever the drill bit was removed for maintenance or repair, rocks would move into the hole to fill it. That, combined with the type of rock found and the pressure at those depths, was causing the rock to behave in a way that was almost plastic. They’d expected to encounter temperatures of around 100☌ at that depth but encountered 180☌ heat instead, which was damaging their equipment. The first was that temperatures were increasing faster than they’d expected. By 1989, Soviet scientists had reached a depth of 12,262m, but they found they were unable to make further progress due to a few related issues. It’s a hole 23 centimeters (cm) in diameter, and it was started in May 1970 with a target depth of 15,000m. The world’s deepest hole, as of this writing, is the now-abandoned Kola Superdeep Borehole, located on the Kola Peninsula in Russia, north of the Arctic Circle.
